offPsudolph, in the county of lVood and I of llliio have invented acertain new and useful Carbureter Attachment for Internal-UoinbustionEngines; and i do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to wh ch eppertains to make and use the ference beinghad tothe accompanying drawings, and to the characters of reference markedthereon, which -form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to engines, and it particularly relates to anattachment for ure m's. It has for its object to provide s whereby afuel having a high firing nay be vaporized and mixed with air by of anywell-known form of carbureter used in connection with gasolene engines.also provides a means whereby a water vapor may be directed to thecarbureter and mixed. with the fuel.

T e invention may be contained in many forms of constructions usable forengines of ditierent types, all of which come Within the purview of myclaims hereinafter appended. To show the practicability of my inventionl have selected one of such constructions as an example and shalldescribe it hereinafter. The construction selected is illustrated in theaccompanying drawings.

" re of the drawing illustrates an end 2 horizontal engine showing anexview of the construction containing ention. Fi 2 is a side view of thearts being shown as broken illustrate the constructiotc. Fig. 3 is anillustration of a modification of the invention wherein means isprovided for heating the fuel, in advance of it being fed to thecarburetor. Fig. l illustrates an auxiliary valve for regulatin to acertain extent the temperature of the air and oftne fuel supplied to thecarburetor. Fig. K -trates an adjustable means for regug the water vaporthat is supplied with the air to the caroureter.

1, Fig 1,"is the engine. 2 is the carburetor. 3 is the pipe forming partof the Watcr cooling system of the engine. 4 is a pipe leading to theintake of the carburetor through which'the air'.passes to thecarbureter. 5 is the pipe which supplies the fuel to the carburetor. 6,6 are valves which control the fuel supply and the exhaust to thecylinders of the engine. 7 is the pipe leading to the engine cylinderwhich supplies the combustible mixture, and 8 is the exhaust of thecylinder which appears in Fig. 1. 9 is the exhaust pipe of the othercylinder of the engine. The pipes 8 and 9 are connected together bymeans of the pipe 10.

The exhaust pipe 11 conveys away the exhaust products from the exhaustpipes 8 and 9. The pipes 9, 10 and 11 form a Y for conducting theexhaust products from the en-' gins. A casing 15 is provided forinclosing the pipes or portionsthereof. The end of the pipe 8 extendsinto the chamber of the inclosing casing 15. The pipe 9 also extendsinto the casing 15. The casing 15 thus incloses the portions of pipes8,9 and 11 and also pipe 10 The casing 15 is provided with a sleeve 16through which the pipe 11 extends. The iirner diameter of the sleeve 16is a little larger than the exterior diam eter of the pipe 11. Thesleeve 16 thus forms a narrow annular chamber about the pipe 11 and alsoan air inlet into the casing 15. The sleeve 16 thus brings the air thatenters through its end into close contact with the exhaust pipe 11 andcauses the air to be heated by the exhaust pipe. The air enters theinterior of the casing Where the pipes 8, 9 and 10, or portions thereof,are located, and consequently it is further heated. The air is conductedthrough the pipe 4 from the casing 15 to the carburetor 2. In thecarbunets oi the engine H venient to draw o of the en peso/es from. t
